EBIF1L Y9KsRURG POSI-
You copied an editorial from the
Yazoo Herald in Tuesdays Evening
Post, in which preference is express
ed for Gen'l Walthali fog Senator for
the term beginning 4th Of MARCH
rext. In this tie lazoo paper has
shovn good taste and Judgment,
and has has taken the lead in a way
which will doubtless be followed, in
time, by a large majority OF the or
gans Of public opinion in ihe State
emily to find support and endorse
inent by the people very generally.
1t is To be hoped that the next Leg
,elature will by itg eiertion sustain
the reputation of the State for tie
ability Of her representative in the
roper House Of Congress. With bat
i few exceptions the the state has
been always ably represented in the
senate and through these Senators
the voice OF Mississippi has been in
flUenti4l and potent ia tEe councils
.ftiia Federal Goperhmtut from the .
days Of FoindeN or down to those Of
george and Waithai.. Her name is
recorded on every page oi ihe hiato-
" Of Federal legiEIation saving fer
the four years or the wnr, since her
admission into The union Of states.
30 sustain her prestige and reputa-
too 1t is necessary TO keep her best
t.len in the Senate; men q acln0wl-
edged ability aud integrity whose
Standing in every respect will COM
sand the confidence Of TIE Whole
4ountfy.
In Gen. WaitL.ql! we have the
Highest type Of our manhood, with a
lnll assurance lie will never do my
ding which shall reflect nDQn the
ibonog and character Of the state.
Ills modest den4eaH0r IN the Senate
for the short time he ho. been "A
nember, has won the confidence and
respect Of that body aAG the people !
large, and lis commanding inttu-
IN the future j. assureG. And
.bough there is al abundance of Of
ensiye seif-as about E;m there
- moi wanting the courage of Iii.
Convictions" AZ on Che battlefield
80 in the Senate he Will be found ev- =
ready to DO his part man!uIiy, as
Is not Il characteristic with
iinl. His long connection Is Att0r- :
ieS with one ofthe railroads Gf the :
country led some persons To think ,
hat he would be averse to Federal
upon the railroads: but 4
lis able and lucid speech upon the Il
bill dissipated the fear.
That he has the confidence of the j,
eopie Of The State in an eminent \
egrse was clearly evinced by the
iMost unanimous desire that he
f,oulI have been nominated for
Governor in 1883 and by tie %univcr-
Al satisfaction TT his appointment -
} ill the vacancy occasioned by Mr.. n
alnag'S transfer to the head Of the
Interior department.. His great
Of head and heart and his
FARMING manners make him q uni
4rsal %favorite, And though his a -,
makes him so great a favor a.
e of the people there is yet not the tie
igbtest suspicion Of the demagogue
'out i'm; and he is equally as free ay
ON the ~trirkery and ~chinAnery that q
laracterizes 50 many Of our degen- &
ate politicians in these days. In q,
ct Mr.. Editor, THE GENTLEMAN
ands out, 50 clearly in every Inca n
ent of his character that "a suspi- 81
OF anything wrong in him is ha
excited.
In conclusion would, if | could.
nphasize every word said by the =
AGO Herald in his favor, and it is Z
be hoped that that sentiments Of
e Herald will be echoed by the H
ess generally, \ right reflection
the sentiment Of people will COM w
! as much. Alto -
